Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan Begin Promotions for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

Bollywood’s beloved father and son duo Varun Dhawan and filmmaker David Dhawan are gearing up for the release of their upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The duo was recently spotted on the sets of The Kapil Sharma Show as they kicked off the film’s promotional campaign, creating excitement among fans who are eager to see them collaborate once again.

The upcoming Bollywood entertainer stars Varun Dhawan in the lead alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. Known for crafting crowd pleasing comedies over the decades, David Dhawan returns to his signature genre with this film, promising a mix of romance, chaos, and the kind of lighthearted humor that has long defined his filmmaking style.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has already been making headlines because of a strategic change in its release plan. The makers decided to push the film’s premiere by a week, shifting the release date from 5 June to 12 June 2026. The decision was reportedly made to avoid a direct box office clash with the much anticipated action film Toxic starring Yash, ensuring that both films get enough breathing room in theatres.

The move reflects how carefully studios now plan theatrical releases in an increasingly competitive box office environment. By avoiding “unnecessary competition,” the team behind Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai hopes to give the romantic comedy its own moment with audiences who are looking for an entertaining, feel good theatrical experience.

Produced by T-Series, the film is expected to lean heavily into colorful storytelling, catchy music, and comic situations. Given David Dhawan’s long track record in Bollywood comedy and Varun Dhawan’s proven ability to carry energetic entertainers, expectations are already high for this collaboration.

For fans of the Dhawan duo, the film also carries a sense of nostalgia. The father and son have previously teamed up for several commercial entertainers, and their projects together often blend old school Bollywood humor with modern star power. With the promotional tour now underway, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is steadily building buzz ahead of its June release.
